    Keep doing the soaks to attract out the contamination, blank shavings and the whole thing else. If you're not sure of giving the shot DO NOT do it. Either has anyone that is aware of how to manage a shot do it for you or name your vet and ask if you'll decide upon up a few powdered or paste antibiotic from their workplace that you simply might administer orally. Other than that simply cognizance on retaining the foot blank and giving the pony lots of leisure to heal. How lengthy is dependent upon the severity. After the pony looks sound name the farrier and spot if he's going to be for your subject and possibly might swing by way of to examine on him. If that's now not an choice I'd wait a minimum of a couple of days to every week after he looks sound (with out the bute) earlier than driving simply to be at the secure aspect. I additionally would not be lunging or doing some other style of labor, simply allow the pony leisure and heal. A week or so off paintings is not going to impact his situation in the end.

    I am sorry for your loss. I had a D&C in March and had lots of cramping afterward. Some of it is due to your uterus shrinking back after being stretched, same as it would after birth. I cramped from the day of D&C until after my 1st period. The cramps were the worst i've ever had. I hope you feel better soon.

    Try eating magnesium. It helps to eliminate cramps or at least reduce them substantially.
